"What does it mean to be dumbfounded?" Yuwen Wen didn't think he was embarrassed to let the other party continue, Shi Wansui drank a spoonful of soup and began to reason with the facts:

The new army's mode of operation sounds good, called defensive counterattack, and it is ugly to say, that is, to wait for the rabbit, but to form a long spear formation, waiting for others to collide with it and send them to death, waiting for the opponent's sharp spirit to be almost exhausted, and then pushing back, this kind of routine is used once or twice, but if it is noticed by the generals who have a heart, it is easy to guard.

The more flexible is to bring in a large number of crossbowmen to shoot and suppress, so that it is enough to not fight hand-to-hand combat, just release arrows, and the dull way is to use the shield array to confront each other, 'the enemy does not move, I do not move', no one stipulates that as soon as it comes up, it will be bloody with the spear array.

"Our army's spear formation is well defended, but when it comes to attacking, it always seems weak, so we can only wait for the fool to come up and send it to death, lose a mess, and then take advantage of the victory to pursue."

There is more than enough defense and not enough attack, and this is Shi Wansui's opinion.

"Lord Shi, if this is the case, we can also contain the opponent's forces, and we can also win after the friendly forces break through from the flank." Yang Ji opened his mouth and said, today Yuwen Wen gave him a notice in advance to let him participate in the discussion, so he pretended to be drunk so that he could talk to this 'future famous general'.

"The average monthly salary of the county prince is just a military brigade waiting for the victory of the friendly army?" Shi Wansui asked rhetorically, "I'm afraid that the first thing the county prince wants to train is a strong army that can turn the situation around, right?" ”

No matter how much the spear formation can be defended, it is only a corner of the battle formation, and after the enemy concentrates on defeating the other side, the spear formation will either flee or die, Shi Wansui means that he must strengthen his offensive ability, and he can't sit back and watch the changes in the battle situation and be powerless to intervene, since Yuwenwen is willing to spend a lot of money to raise soldiers, then he must raise a strong army that can carry and charge.

Just become a hedgehog, others don't dare to bite it, but after bypassing it, you can't help it, there is no idiot cavalry general, stupidly put the weakness elsewhere and don't rush, but come to rush you, the humanoid horse rejection formation.

"Lord Shi is right, what is the solution to this?" Yu Wenwen said calmly, he did feel this problem, and he also had ideas for improvement, but now he had to listen to the other party's opinion.

"The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and if you want to break the enemy, you have to catch the opponent's flaws. If the other party has no flaws, then create flaws! This is Shi Wansui's idea, "Only when the other side feels a clear threat from our army will soldiers be mobilized to attack, so that the spear array can exert its power." ”

Shi Wansui said that the art of war has a cloud attack, it will be saved, and the spear formation threatens the enemy, and the performance of making its formation unstable, then the other party can't ignore it, he hopes that Yuwen Wen can choose the sharp soldiers to form a separate formation and take the initiative to attack as the vanguard of the formation, so that the spear formation can then break through, and the new army should become a strong infantry army that can create flaws and break through quickly, rather than the current hedgehog formation that waits for the rabbit.

'The classic Swiss phalanx combat method,' Yu Wenwen thought. The main combat method of the Swiss phalanx, the cottage target of his new army, was to take the initiative to attack, let skilled veterans form a squad to be the vanguard to attack the enemy's flaws, tear a hole and squeeze in the phalanx that attacked on foot to expand the results.

The best defense is offense, and the Swiss phalanx, which is even faster than the armored cavalry, is so broken the enemy, Yu Wenwen knows that his new army lacks veterans of a hundred battles, so the tactics of this step can't be played, but Shi Wansui has already judged that he is really worthy of being a famous general seed.

"What Lord Shi said is very true, it's just that the new army has just been established, and there are no skilled soldiers, so they can only form a formation to counterattack and kill the enemy." Yang Ji felt the same way, and this question also bothered him and Yu Wenwen, "In your opinion, is it appropriate to let the long sword soldiers take on the responsibility of breaking into the formation?" ”

Shi Wanzai said that if the two-handed long knife is deployed, the space required is large, and the distance between the soldiers and the soldiers will be lengthened, so that it is difficult for a loose assault to penetrate into a well-defended military formation from the flanks. It is better to mix with other sword soldiers and break through the opponent's spear or sword card and get close to the enemy

"These soldiers can also be used as stragglers in front of the battle, specifically against those who are heavily armored and shield-wielding." Yu Wenwen thought for a while and said, Yang Ji also quite agrees with this point of view, the new army has experienced several fierce battles, and the performance of the soldiers is obvious to all, and now they should be able to choose some that can fight.

Shi Wansui went on to talk about the second problem: the soldiers were not skilled, and there were not enough crossbowmen. Although he had witnessed with his own eyes on the battlefield of the two estuaries how impenetrable the new army array was, he still held this opinion.

He was confident that there was a bloody way to break through the spear formation: hundreds of cavalry did not dodge or dodge and directly charged the formation with flesh and blood to tear a hole, and the cavalry and even infantry that followed took advantage of the situation to rush in was a big melee, and if the pikemen were not skilled in close combat, they would die.

It is true that the cavalry is expensive, but whether it is wasted depends on whether it is worth it, and the commander of the new army, Yu Wenwen, is the second son of Yu Wenliang, the governor of Anzhou. If the formation is broken, he can poke Yu Wenwen's head with a spear to show the public, and hit the morale of the Anzhou army, even if three or four hundred cavalry die.

Another way to break the formation is still to bring in a large number of crossbowmen to shoot, and the new army of archers in two buildings of 600 people may not be able to cope with it. His opinion is that everyone should carry a bow and crossbow when they practice archery, so that they will not lose the wind in shooting, even if the pikemen are in formation, those after four rows must be equipped with bows, and if the money is enough, the crossbow is better.

Shi Wansui thought about it after speaking, and then added: "These soldiers don't need to carry many arrows when they are in battle, five are not enough, three are enough." ”

"Conform to the trend of the times, this guy has a good eye" Yu Wenwen admired Shi Wansui's vision more and more. In the weapon configuration of the Tang army in later generations, a bow is considered a standard configuration, just imagine that an army of 2,000 people is 2,000 archers before receiving the battle, and the other party hangs a bunch of arrows after three rounds of arrows, and it is easy to rush to the front, and as a result, the bow is thrown away, and the sword is drawn and rushed, and there are almost 2,000 melee soldiers.

The only drawback is that it costs money, and a good bow or crossbow is not cheap. Before engaging in hand-to-hand combat, it is said that the damage rate is not low, so this kind of gameplay requires strong financial resources, but it is not a big deal for the Tang Army who is equipped with Mo knives: the expensive Mo knives are not a problem, where do you care about the bow and crossbow!

"What the Lord of Shi said is good, and this justice has this intention." Yu Wenwen nodded, the problem that can be solved with money is not a problem!

Shi Wansui synthesized the above views and put forward suggestions: The training of soldiers should be strengthened, first of all, everyone in the infantry should try to have a bow when practicing archery and combat, and secondly, the pikemen should at least practice practical fist and foot routines, and the archers should practice knives so that they can enter into battle during the melee.

The most important point is to select the best soldiers as the thugs of the breakout and part-time skirmishers in front of the formation, so the melee hand-to-hand combat ability must be the best.

"The county lord, the spear is like a forest and is good for defense. If you want to destroy the enemy, you must have a tiger in the forest. ”

"It's good to have a tiger in the forest, it's good." Yu Wenwen smiled and nodded, he was quite satisfied with this apt statement, "It's just that our army only has the two-handed knife technique taught by Lord Yang Xuan, and if it involves sword and card techniques, there are few experienced ones." ”

"A certain talent, leading soldiers for many years, has a lot of experience in melee techniques." Shi Wanzai is also not modest. Although he and Yang Ji have never won a single duel, when it comes to melee knife skills in the army, they are still quite complacent.

Yang Ji's two-handed long knife is more suitable for skirmishers, when the army is engaged, the two sides are crowded, and most of the time it is not suitable for such a long knife to swing freely, and the pure long knife soldiers are more suitable for protecting the flank of the formation to deal with small groups of sudden dead.

Shi Wansui was also enthusiastic when he saw that his idea was recognized, and put forward another opinion: small formations can be properly practiced to adapt to complex terrain, and today's basic spear formation is composed of a building of 300 people, which does not matter when it is flat, but it is easy to be confused when it comes to mountain paths or complex terrain.

"The small formation Yang Mansion Master already has a draft, and he has time to learn from each other." Yu Wenwen sold a pass, this problem was planned when the army was built, but time was tight, in order to let the soldiers practice the spear formation, they were all strengthened in the formation of three hundred people, and now that they have free time, they can consider training.

It is the best state to form a formation to defend against the enemy, and if you encounter a terrain that is not conducive to the formation of a spear formation or an attack on the march, it is also necessary to form a small formation, and the new army has only been established for seven months now, and there is still a lot to learn.

"Sure enough, it's still a cavalry, simple and rude," Yu Wenwen smiled helplessly. There are not many cavalry, so they can only try to play tricks in the infantry formation, no wonder the previous Northern Expeditions of the Southern Dynasties have always fallen short, and the infantry can only hold a group against the cavalry, but the cavalry has the initiative on the battlefield, and some are time-consuming, and the longer it is consumed, the more unfavorable it is for the infantry: the logistical pressure is too great.

"It's going to burn money again"......

In the backyard, Yu Wenwen yawned and walked to his wife's room, just now he talked with Yang Ji and Shi Wansui for an hour, and his saliva was dry, and he finally finalized the growth direction of the new army in the future, because he had the habit of napping on weekdays, so at this time, tiredness came up, and he couldn't help yawning.

Because of the smell of alcohol, he deliberately bathed and changed his clothes before visiting his wife who was in confinement, and after two days of rest, Wei Chi Chifan's complexion was much better. The son she gave birth to for Yu Wenwen is now being coaxed by her mother, Wang.

Seeing his daughter's hard work, Wang also accompanies her every day to give her daughter 'professional guidance' during confinement, and Chi Shun, the public lieutenant of Angu County, is now leading the troops outside, and the youngest daughter Chi Mingyue is also running here every day, so Wang simply spends the day here.

"Have you eaten it?" Yu Wenwen sat on the edge of the couch and asked. Although there was no heavy bleeding during childbirth, Wei Chi's physical strength was also enough to choke, and in the past few days, the kitchen has prepared a large number of supplements for his wife to replenish her body.

Seeing his wife nodded, Yu Wenwen held her hand and rubbed it gently, in the past few days, he had burned money outside to celebrate the safety of his mother and son, but on his wife, the medicinal materials and ingredients needed for the tonic were all the best that could be bought in Anlu City, and the daily cost of eating was the same as the cost of burning bags and wine just now.

The confinement is not windy, and the room is not only closed with doors and windows, but also surrounded by curtains. Yu Wenwen was a little sweaty after talking to his wife for a while, and Wei Chi Chi was a little distressed when he saw him like that: "Go to Sister Yang's side, it's too stuffy here for the concubine." ”

"It's Sister Yang, this is the rule that can't be messed up." Yu Wenwen corrected that Yang Lihua was a little woman and Wei Chi Chifan was a big woman. Even if Yang Lihua is older than Wei Chi Chifan, she has to be a younger sister.

Yu Chi Chifan is always not used to saying "Sister Yang", seeing that her husband is like this, she has to correct it and let him go to 'Sister Yang' so as not to sweat here, Yuwen Wen is confident: "Mingyue and Eying are watching Brother Magpie with Miss Xiao there, so they won't make trouble for their husband." ”

A few days ago, Yu Chi Chi had a difficult birth, and Miss Xiao heard the news and thought that she was 'Keren' and was later 'drunk as a stick' by Yu Wenwen before she regained her calm, and Yu Wen Eying liked this new 'Aunt Xiao' pestering her to play with her all day long, and her 'best friend' Yu Chi Mingyue also played with her.

Hearing Yu Wenwen say this, Yu Chi Chi Fan didn't insist anymore, and after the couple talked for a while, Yu Wen Wen didn't bother anymore when he saw that his wife was not in good spirits, and looked at his figure leaving, Yu Chi Chi Fan thought thoughtfully. (To be continued.) )
